Title: [WTS] 4000gb Baracuda XT Sata hdd $275 NOT YET AVALABLE TO PUBLIC Post by: shakaru on November 28, 2011, 06:15:14 PM I got a pair of these that I am not going to use for my self that I will let go for a decent price.
I bought them only because I could not even find them online at the time and Seagate does not have them listed on their site (only 2 and 3tb). You will need to use a mobo with 2.2tb infinity or other EFI boot method to boot off the drive and use Vista/7 64bit to use a GPT partition in windows. Linux has no issues with the GPT partition. Other Windows flavors can mount the drive as a 2.2tb and a remaining partition. Asking $275 ea including shipping. MSRP $349 As seen on... http://eshop.macsales.com/item/SeagateOEM/ST4000DX000/ http://www.amazon.com/Seagate-Barracuda-ST4000DX000-SATA-Drive/dp/B005WX3NEU Sold one to amazingrando already in person.

They found that it's getting close to 190MB/s on the outer tracks. :o
http://www.storagereview.com/seagate_4tb_barracuda_xt_first_thoughts_review Picked one up from shakaru over the holiday weekend (one of several good transactions I've had with shakaru). Very nice drive and a really good deal! Very happy with it. ;D Title: Re: [WTS] 4000gb Baracuda XT Sata hdd $310 NOT YET AVALABLE TO PUBLIC Post by: amazingrando on November 29, 2011, 01:16:21 AM I had already planned to meet up with shakaru to get a couple of heatsinks:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=51857.0 He had one on hand that he was using for testing that I picked up when I was down there on Friday. I know the external version has been out for a bit, but didn't know that anyone had the internal version. Even the storagereview.com review was only a preview and just posted on 11/17. If anyone wants me to run some benchmarks on it, I can do that and post the results here.

Get them while they are hot!

Thank you, Tyson Title: Re: [WTS] 4000gb Baracuda XT Sata hdd $275 NOT YET AVALABLE TO PUBLIC Post by: shakaru on November 30, 2011, 07:43:44 PM Are these retail boxed drives or were they pulled from external enclosures? Thank you, Tyson They are retail box purchased for corporate data solutions. I assume this question is to know if they are bootable with uEFI and yes they are. I also have access to surplus from the same project of WD 5tb drives. I do not yet have a price on them as I only have one atm with 4 more coming in later today. If you have larger quantities or looking for some other type of drive like the 2tb or 3tb Xts, let me know as I can arrange such deals.
